Skin rash on fingers

Asked for Male, 40 years

My husband suffers from a skin condition which keeps recurring on his hands only. Mostly his fingers and can start spreading to his palms if left unattended. It shows up like a thick rough dry patch which splits and hurts him a lot. We can see fresh tender skin from inside those cracks. He applies a mixture of Clobederm S and Vaseline at night which softens the splitting skin. But this is not a permanent solution as soon as he stops applying it, it comes back again! What is this actually?

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you ever considered showing a skin specialist and eating antifungal and antibiotics for this? It is possibly a fungal infection but can only be cured from within with antifungal treatment. What's the nature of his job? Does he use many chemicals? Can he avoid it or wear gloves? Does he wash hands often? Kindly write back to us with details.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Dermatologists in Karachi and seek in-person advice.
